Not Every Trade Goes to Plan – But That’s Trading

Today wasn’t the smoothest day in the markets. I didn’t get a chance to set up properly on the computer this morning, so I ended up placing trades from my phone during the workday. Not ideal – you miss out on seeing the full chart and important details all at once.

Markets were fairly calm in the run-up to the 1:30 PM CPI data release, so I managed a small scalp on the NASDAQ 100 futures for a £0.63 gain. But once the data hit, things got chaotic. I jumped back in with another quick NASDAQ trade and a buy on EUR/USD. Both gave me micro-wins.

Then I got greedy – another EUR/USD buy as it was pushing higher… except it didn’t. Price reversed instantly. I averaged down, hoping for a rebound, and eventually, much later in the day, I managed to scrape back to breakeven and closed the trade.

Could’ve been worse – but it’s a good reminder that sometimes breakeven is a win.
